Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 70E
Three kids sitting equally apart around a table are sharing jelly beans. One of the kids, however, tends only to take jelly beans and rarely gives one away. If each jelly bean, represents an electron, who ends up being slighty negative? Who ends up being slightly positive? Is the negative kid just as negative as one of the positive kids is positive? Would you describe this as a polar or a nonpolar situation? How about if all three kids were equally greedy?
